The
Birmingham City Council decided in a meeting Tuesday afternoon to delay action on
the $6.45 million dollar baseball-related spending decisions until a committee meeting
on Wednesday. The council is divided on the proposed
spending, specifically the $3 million for the Barons.

The council had on its agenda to vote on Mayor William Bell's spending list,
which includes the $3 million for extras at the new facility, and adds $1 million for parking,
$2.05 million in neighborhood projects and $400,000 to design a companion Negro
League museum.
